About Hawai'i...

In WAC play, center Paul Campbell has been nearly perfect from the field. He has made 30-of-41 field goal attempts for an 73.2 percentage. During a three-game stretch, he matched his career-high with 14 points against Boise State, Idaho, and Northwestern State. Prior to that stretch, he had only one career double figure game in three seasons at UH.

For the second consecutive year, Roderick Flemings is the team's scoring leader averaging 16.6 ppg and adding 6.5 rpg. Earlier this year he scored a career-high 39 points, the fourth-highest total in school history, and tied for the most by WAC player this year. The native of Dallas, Texas leads the team with six double-doubles and has been named Verizon Wireless WAC Player of the Week twice this season.

Petras Balocka is doing some serious work on the glass this season. The senior currently leads the team, averaging 8.1 rpg. Balocka grabbed 16 rebounds-the most by a Rainbow Warrior in five years-against New Mexico then two games later hauled in 20 rebounds in a win over Lamar, the highest total by a 'Bow in more than 30 years. By also adding 20 points against Lamar, Balocka became just the third player in school history-joining Bob Nash and Melton Werts-to record a 20-20 game. Balocka has four double-doubles this season and 10 double-figure rebounding games.All-Time Series Notes Against Hawai'i...
